And to whet your appetite, here's six sentences from that very book. This comes after Donovan, Isaac, and Carmen make a trip through a baby store so Donovan -- the only one of the three experienced with infants -- could bust some myths about early parenthood. Carmen's gone home, and Donovan and Isaac are now in bed:
Isaac killed the light, then rested his head on my shoulder again, and in no time flat, he was out cold. I, on the other hand, couldn’t sleep.
Going through that store had made this a little more real. Sure, I’d bantered with Isaac and Carmen. I’d done what I could to settle their fears and ease their worries, but I hadn’t put a dent in my own. Seeing all those things we wouldn’t need and all the things we would had brought back every fatigue-blurred memory of Ryan’s infancy.
Want to play along? It’s fun and easy!
1. pick a project – a current WIP, contracted work or even something readers can buy if you’re published
2. pick six sentences
3. post ‘em on your blog or website on Sunday
I could really relate to the trip to look at all the baby items and then the lying awake at night later! Excellent excerpt!
